Stan Lee found an outlet for his more grandiose stylings with the introduction of Norse god Thor as a proper superhero—with this issue also introducing readers to Dr. Don Blake, a humble human whose walking stick turns him into the legendary figure who turns back an alien invasion with his mighty hammer Mjölnir. Thor’s continuing appearances in Journey Into Mystery would eventually lead to his own title exploring the epic world of Asgard. This issue was always considered rare after an unusually low print run, and is reliable as a great investment. Fans of artist Jack Kirby even consider this issue to be a breakthrough for the legendary comics artist, offering pencils drawn with a surprising grace and elegance. The God of Thunder has remained one of Marvel’s biggest draws, with the character’s next MCU appearance already a source of great speculation.

This mid-grade copy of Journey Into Mystery #83 sits at the sweet spot between condition and affordability. Presenting plenty of eye appeal, with a solid structure, and bright colors, the copy is graded at a price point that will open it up to a wider swath of bidders. The Mighty Thor has been a consistent mainstay of Marvel’s stable since his introduction in this issue. Although the Norse god has gone through several reimaginings throughout the years, he has always remained one of the most popular characters in the company’s rogue’s gallery. Kirby and Lee’s creation was an instant success, which blazed a trail for the publisher’s cosmic adventures in the future. The recent success of MCU entry “Thor: Love and Thunder” has given this issue yet another bump in value.

Overstreet Guide 2022 VG/FN (5.0) value = $6463.
